Gonatodus is an extinct genus of freshwater ray-finned fish that lived in Europe during the Viséan stage of the Mississippian epoch.[1][2] It is a member of the potentially paraphyletic family Gonatodidae.[3][4]
The following species are known:[2][5][6]
- †G. punctatus (Agassiz, 1835) (type species) - Visean of Scotland (Strathclyde Group, including Gullane Formation) (=Amblypterus punctatus Agassiz, 1835)
- †G. macrolepis Traquair, 1877 - Visean of Scotland (Limestone Coal Formation)
- †G. parvidens Traquair, 1882 - Visean of Scotland (Limestone Coal Formation)
- ?†G. toilliezi de Koninck, 1878 - (Visean of Belgium)
The alleged species G. brainerdi Newberry, 1889 is known from the Famennian of Ohio, US. However, it is almost certainly not a member of this genus.[6]
